    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    ABSTRAK Dalam perspektif para pakar pendidikan, model, strategi dan metode pembelajaran dianggap sebagai permasalahan urgen dalam konteks kajian pendidikan. Nilai-nilai urgensitas itu, terutama terlihat bahwa pada satu sisi dalam kancah pendidikan, tiga terminologi itu selalu muncul dan memanifestasi dalam bentuknya yang sangat bervariatif, sesuai dengan situasi dan kondisinya. Sementara itu kegagalan dalam dunia pendidikan yang dinilai masih jauh dari harapan itu, juga selalu dianggap bahwa model, strategi, dan metode pembelajaran memiliki andil yang tidak kecil bagi upaya untuk memberikan solusinya. Berangkat dari problem tersebut, penelitian ini berkeinginan menjawab beberapa permasalahan penelitian yang secara lebih spesifik dapat digambarkan dalam rumusan sebagai berikut, 1) Apa saja jenis-jenis model pembelajaran PAI yang dikembangkan di SD Plus al-Kautsar Malang?, 2) Bagaimana implementasi masing-masing jenis model pembelajaran yang dikembangkan di SD Plus al-Kautsar Malang? Sesuai dengan objek kajiannya, yaitu model pembelajaran PAI bagi pembinaan akhlak, maka dalam penelitian ini lebih sesuai menggunakan paradigma devinisi sosial, dengan pendekatan teori analisis fenomenologi. Sementara sumber data yang diperoleh dari data emik (subjek) maupun (informan) penelitian, akan dideskripsikan secara deskriptif-kualitatif-fenomenologis. Sumber data dan lokasi penelitian ini dibatasi pada para guru agama, pengelola, dan guru-guru tematik di SD Plus al-Kautsar Malang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi, wawancara mendalam dan dokumentasi. Kajian ini menemukan dua temuan penelitian teoretik-substantif. Pertama, telah ditemukan tiga jenis model pembelajaran PAI yang dikembangkan di SD Plus al-Kautsar Malang, yaitu 1) model pembelajaran "holistik-kontekstual", 2) model pembelajaran "holistik-integral", dan 3) model pembelajaran "holistik-progresif". Kedua, telah ditemukan strategi penerapan terhadap masing-masing temuan model pembelajaran di atas yang disebut dengan penerapan "holistik". Penerapan model pembelajaran yang berpijak pada orientasi tiga kecerdasan siswa secara utuh, baik pada pijakan Kecerdasan Intelektual (IQ), Kecerdasan Emosional (EQ), maupun Kecerdasan Spiritual (SQ). Dengan demikian, kesimpulan dari temuan penelitian ini merekomendasikan bahwa tiga model pembelajaran yang ditemukan di atas, baik pembelajaran kontekstual, integral, maupun progresif harus mengacu para cara penerapan holisteik, yaitu penerapan yang melibatkan tiga ranah kecerdasan sekaligus. Oleh karena itu, masing-masing terminologi model pembelajaran di atas, (kontekstual, integral, dan progresif) dalam pelaksanaannya tidak dapat dilepaskan dengan terminologi holistik. Penggabungan keduanya menggambarkan dua entitas yang tunggal atau menyatu, kata di depan (holistik) menggambarkan pada cara penerapannya, sementara kata di belakang (kontekstual, integral, dan progresif) menggambarkan model pembelajarannya. ABSTRACT In the perspective of education experts, model, strategy, and learning method are believed as urgent problem in the context of education study. The urgent values particularly are seen in the education perspective. Those three terms always come up and manifest in the various terms base on its situation and condition. While the failure in education field which is far from standard of expectation is always assumed that among model, strategy, and learning method also give significance contribution or solution toward the development of education. Based on those phenomenon, this research wants to answer problems which are more specific described in these research problems namely 1) what types of Islamic Education (PAI) Learning developed by Al-Kautsar Plus Elementary School, Malang?, 2) how are the implementation of learning methods developed in Al-Kautsar Plus Elementary School, Malang? Based on the object of study, namely Islamic Education (PAI) learning model for character building, this research is more eligible uses social definition paradigm, by phenomenology theory approach. Sources of the data are gotten from the subject and also informant of the research. It will be described in a descriptive-qualitative- phenomenology manner. The data sources and place of the research are limited to the religious teacher, head master, and the thematic teachers in Al-Kautsar Plus Elementary School, Malang. The data collections are done by observation, deep interview, and documentation. This research has found two substantive-theoretic research findings. First, it has been found three Islamic Education (PAI) learning models which are developed in Al-Kautsar Plus Elementary School, Malang, namely, 1) “contextual-holistic” learning model, 2) “integral-holistic” learning model, 3) “progressive-holistic” learning model. Second, it had been found implementation strategy toward every single learning model above that is called by (holistic) implementation. The implementation of learning model based on Intellectual Question (IQ), Emotional Question, and Spiritual Question (SQ). Thereby, the conclusion from this research finding recommends three learning models proposed above, learning model such as contextual, integral, and progressive must refer to holistic learning way, namely the implementation which covers three types of intelligence directly. Therefore, every term of learning model above (contextual, integral, progressive) in its implementation cannot go away from holistic term. The concatenation two of them picture two entities to be one, the word (holistic), it describes the way of its implementation. While (contextual, integral, progressive), it describes learning model

    Telaah Konseptual Pendidikan Barat dan Islam

    Tulisan ini bertujuan ingin mendeskripsikan perbedaan konseptual Pendidikan Barat (Umum) dan Pendidikan Islam. Berdasarkan hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa perbedaan paradigma pendidikan Barat dan Islam tidak hanya terbatas pada ranah ontologis dan epistemologisnya, tetapi juga pada ranah aksiologis. Pada ranah ontologis, perbedaan pendidikan terlihat terutama pada ruang lingkup dan hakikat pendidikan itu sendiri. Pada ranah epistemologis, perbedaan keduanya terletak pada sumber pengetahuan yang dicari serta cara dan strategi untuk menggali sumber pengetahuan itu. Ranah konseptual ontologis hingga proses pendidikan (epistemologis) yang berbeda akan berpengaruh secara langsung pada tataran aksiologinya. Secara aksiologis, Pendidikan Barat tidak menjadikan nilai-nilai sebagai bagian dari hasil pendidikan, sementara Islam basis nilai manjadi sebuah keniscayaan dan bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari hasil pendidikan itu sendiri

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
